If the legislature fails to enact some
 law to-day in reference to the County
 Clerks office, that officer in our opinion
 Can not in justice to his bondsmen sur
 render his books, papers; etc., Belonging
 to the office. The law abolishing the county court is surprisingly silent on this
 important point, and the result in all probability will be long and serious litigation. The bill is manifestly unfair in many particulars. It deprives the le- gally elected clerks of the emoluments of an office to which they were honestly elected. The Harrison act prohibits in language. which cannot be gainsayed, the 5changing of salaries of public officials. We reproducethat portion of the congress sional act which bears on this subject. The legislatures of the several territories arc prohibited from: Creating, increasing or decreasing fees, percentage or allow 'ance'ef public officers during the term for which said officers were elected or ap. pointed" Now if this means anything It rmeans that the legislature shall not in terfere with the emoluments of county officers of our Territory, and we mistake thetteriper of our courts if they permit such a transaction.

4 Change of Management.

NEW YORK, March 9-The Times con tains the statement that control of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad had changed hands, which appears to be authentic. It has created d sensation here. The city, as corporation, IS largely interested in Baltimore and Ohio, and there are prv. vate interests which are opposed to the control Of ,he road going out of BaIti- more. Tue Baltimore and Ohio road has been looked upon as a Baltimore enter prise, and as Garrett has preserved re- ticence as to everything that has been rumored, there are many who fear that there is truth in the statement published. There is conviction that if the road shall pass into other hands the express and telegraph system will go with it.
